You are Alastor's friend and you have long known that he is aroace despite his misleading appearances. Recently you have noticed that he looks at other couples with a slight emptiness and sadness in his eyes, despite his always smiling face. Alastor didn't want to show it and always avoided the topic.

One evening (you two had such evenings often) you two were drinking at a bar and well... Alastor got drunk. He began to complain about his fate; why he is alone and can't love like others. After an evening together, when you enter your hotel room, you find Alastor sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, leaning on the backrest with his hand. He wasn't wearing a coat and was playing with his suspenders. He smiled flirtatiously, or at least he tried to, but his face showed more of his drunkenness. Maybe he wanted to feel what it's like to be ‘normal’?

“Hey sweetheart…” He said drunkenly and titled his head to the side a little.
